HOMAN / HOLMAN / HOLEMAN / HOLMEN / HOLDMAN / HOOMAN / HAMMON / HOEMAN
Two brothers, Gabriel and Edward Homan, settled in
Marblehead, Massachusetts in the mid 1600s.
Edward Homan (about 1646 – 1713) is my 9th great
grandfather. He was one of the first
fourteen householders in Marblehead before 1660. He married about 1668 to Richard Brimblecomb,
the DAUGHTER of John and Tabitha Brimblecomb of Marblehead. Her name Richard
can be seen in his last will and testament written in 1713. They had five children born in Marblehead. The Edward Homan house is still standing in
Marblehead at 29 – 31 Circle Street, and is dated about 1670, and the right side
of the house was built about 1802 or 1803.
Edward Homan, Jr. (1668 – 1714), my 8th great
grandfather, died a year after his
father in Marblehead. He married
Elizabeth Gould in 1692 in Marblehead, and they had six children. Edward, Jr. was called “a planter” and “a
cooper”, and he bought land from Christopher Lattamore in 1680 [Essex Registry
of Deeds, book 2, leaf 89].
Peter Homan (b. 1699) was my 7th great
grandfather. He married in 1723 to Mary
Hoyle, daughter of Samuel Hoyle and Mary Fortune of Marblehead. They had seven children. Their eldest, William Homan (b. 1725), my 6th
great grandfather, married about 1758 to Elizabeth and had a son named Thomas
(about 1758 – 1832), my 5th great grandfather. Thomas Homan’s wife, Tabitha Glover, was the
niece of Brigadier General John Glover (1732 – 1797) of Revolutionary War fame.
Thomas served in the American
Revolutionary War, too, under Capt. Putnam as a private in Massachusetts in
1776 for one year. He applied for a
pension in 1818.
Betsey Jillings Homan (1792 – 1874), my 4th great
grandmother, was the last in this line of HOMANs. She married Jabez Treadwell of Ipswich, and
they resided in Salem, where their seven children were born.
